Question

relevant laws: conservation
conservation acts
there are a variety of relevant laws concerning conservation. one of these laws is the marine
mammal protection act. enacted in 1972, the marine mammal protection act focuses
exclusively on protecting declining populations of marine mammals
the convention on international trade in endangered species (cites), is an international
agreement that primarily regulates and prohibits international trade of endangered species and
their products. for example, cites prohibits the international trade of elephant ivory.
another conservation law is the endangered species act of 1973. the endangered species act
is an example of a law that focuses on protecting single species and their habitats. this act was
the first law to protect both endangered species and their habitats by providing habitat and anti-
harassment protection for endangered species. this reasoning is why the endangered species
act is considered such a powerful law in protecting biodiversity
the endangered species act is an example of a law that
focuses on protecting what?
endangered species and their habitats
all species in the united states
marine mammals and their habitats

Explanation:

The text clearly states that the Endangered Species Act focuses on protecting single species and their habitats. Among the options, "endangered species and their habitats" aligns with this description. The Marine Mammal Protection Act focuses on marine mammals, so the option about marine mammals is incorrect. The act is not about all species in the US but endangered ones, so that option is also wrong.

Answer:

endangered species and their habitats
